With change and reform at its core, this book traverses the domains of 
new media and traditional culture, music as resistance, reforms to 
communication theory, resisting colonial and imperial legacies, 
advocating journalistic renewal, and exploring new corporate and 
cultural strategies, among others. It covers print journalism, broadcast 
radio and television, digital media, popular music, and video games—in a 
range of national and cultural contexts.

The book also pays particular attention to the role of media and 
technology in the experiences of disadvantaged or under-represented 
groups, including women and indigenous communities.

The editors are *Hopeton Dunn, Dumisani Moyo, William Lesitaokana and 
Shanade Bianca Barnabas*. Early endorsements of the book were provided 
by Professor Tawana Kupe, Media Scholar and Vice Chancellor of 
University of Pretoria; and Professor Rupert Lewis, Pan African Scholar 
and Emeritus Professor of Political Thought at the University of the 
West Indies.

Chapter contributors to the book include Melville Cooke of Jamaica, 
Herman Wasserman of South Africa, Anthony Gunde and Victor Chikaipa of 
Malawi, Hagos Nigussie of Ethiopia, Carol Munoz Nieves of Cuba, Shanade 
Bianca Barnabas and Itunu Bodunrin of South Africa, Daina Nathaniel of 
Trinidad and Tobago, Nicola Bidwell based in Namibia, William 
Lesitaokana and Seamogano Mosanako of Botswana, Parkie Mbozi of Zambia, 
Rachel van der Merwe of South Africa, Lloyd Waller and Nicola Satchell

Bell of Jamaica, Collen Chambwera of Zimbabwe, Paul Chiudza Banda of 
Malawi, Dumisani Moyo of Zimbabwe, based in South Africa, and Hopeton

According to early reviewers, these scholars engaged critically with the 
central issues of how we communicate, produce, resist, reform, 
entertain, and build communities in early 21st-century Africa and the 
Caribbean.
